Used Backhoes

About

Backhoe loaders are ideal machines for gathering debris and placing the load into a remote area, or into a dump truck. They are typically used for clearing debris from demolitions, leveling landfills, road and sidewalk breaking, surfacing and similar tasks.

The two-part articulated arm of a backhoe provides great torque and reach for digging and movement-related tasks, especially those requiring heavy debris.

Backhoes are commonly seen as either wheeled or tracked vehicles. These vehicles are essentially a tractor fitted with a hydraulic-powered rear hoe (hence the name "Back Hoe") attachment, and a front-mounted dozer blade for plowing-related tasks.

This specialized machinery has various applications in the agricultural field, and can vastly expand their capabilities with an assortment of attachments, such as buckets, augers, breakers, grapples and tilt-rotators.

Similarly to how tractors handle their attachments with a PTO, a backhoe uses a "quick attach" or quick-coupler system for easy attachment and removal of a peripheral.
